Here is the start of the dash for the Missile.
I am still waiting for the return of three of the gauges I sent back for re-labeling, and the air/fuel gauge which is being worked on. This is try number two for re-labeling.
I still have to make the turn signals and the two indicators for the laser detector and the security system.
I have all the parts just need to fire up the soldering iron.

I hope you'll keep us updated with progress and documentation.
 
here are the progress pics from the start
#1 5/16" piece of G-10 (Eglass)machined for the gauges.
#2-what gauges I have in for test fit.
#3- LED bar make up for the various indicators
#4- Gauges, turn signals,"locked" and "Laser hit" lights in place.
#5-the back of the circuit and the start of the wiring process. When this is done there will be one multipair cable with connector for the entire dash assembly.
the rest are pics of individual lights and a group shot.

Just a quick update on the small amount of progress.
I have spent way too many days on trying to put together a digital keypad for the car.I have successfully toasted the circuits out of two digital safes, to no avail.

I also pulled the dash and finished the metal work and fitting of the AC vents and the digital panel. I also built the speaker mount for two 4" driver to replace the single factory speaker.
I am happy to say the defrost vents do clear the backs of the gauges and the heads up display for the radar detector.
